DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A TELEMANIPULATED WELDING ROBOT WITH VISUAL AND HAPTIC FEEDBACK

Abstract

In today's world a large proportion of human effort is replaced by robots most of this change is visible in the field of manufacturing industries where in many works previously done by human beings are performed by machines or robots with minimal human interface. The problem with these human operated robots is that the operator and the workplace are at completely different places and the operator has no idea of the workplace and has to operate the machine using devices such as joysticks without knowing how the machine is operating, so in our paper we wish to develop a tele manipulating welding robot which mimics the action of the operator and also is complemented by visual and haptic feedback where in the entire setup would be placed on a mobile base.
